    /raˈspjuːtɪn/
    • 1. (1871–1916), Russian monk; full name Grigori Efimovich Rasputin. He came to exert great influence over Tsar Nicholas II and his family during the First World War; this influence, combined with his reputation for debauchery, steadily discredited the imperial family, and he was assassinated by a group loyal to the tsar.
